Export an OpenPGP Public Key

After creating an OpenPGP Key Pair, you will need to share the public key portion with your trading partner(s). They can use that public key to encrypt files bound to your organization. Your trading partners can additionally use this public key to verify your

digital signature

on any signed files you send to them.

The public key will need to be exported from your Key Ring into a separate file, which you can then send to your trading partner(s) over FTP, email or other means.

Follow the steps below to export a public key from your Key Ring:

Key Manager

role.

From the main menu, select

Encryption

, and then click the OpenPGP Key Manager link.

Select the key to export by clicking the checkbox next to the entry.

Click the

Export Public Key(s)

button.

The Public Key will automatically download to your browser's default directory.

After exporting the public key, you can send this exported file to your trading partner.

Generally the same public key can be shared with all of your trading partners. Since a public key can only be used to encrypt information (not decrypt), most organizations are not concerned who has possession of their public key.
